The Leftover Menu

Wondering what to cook? Here are a few ideas for tasty dishes we have made up from leftovers, or very few ingredients.

Scrambled Veg

About 15 mins to create

Ingredients:   A splash of Oil (Sunflower or Olive Oil)
                    2-3 Medium Eggs
                    2 handfuls of Veggies of Choice (broccoli, finely sliced carrots,                            courgettes) 
                    1 Pepper (red and yellow are sweeter than green)
                    3 rashers of Bacon or slices of Ham (optional)
                    Desired amount of Cheese of Choice (cheddar works well)
                    Half an Onion
                    Side salad (optional)

You Will Need: A fork
                      Small bowl or a glass
                      Frying pan
                      Chopping board
                      A sharp knife
                      Cheese grater (or slice cheese with knife)
                      Food Scissors (for meat, can use knife instead)

Recipe:
  1. Add a splash of oil to a frying pan and turn on medium high heat
  2. Break eggs into a bowl or glass and whisk with fork until yolk is evenly mixed with whites
  3. When the oil is sizzling, or s drop of water fizzes when splashed on the oil, add the eggs
  4. Cut up the ham or bacon into small sections and place in pan
  5. Chop the onion in half then into slices (leave chunky for texture and stronger taste) 
  6. Chop the veg into small chunks
  7. Add onions and desired amount of veg to the pan (don't forget peppers!)
  8. Grate or slice cheese straight onto the mixture in the pan
  9. Give a stir with a spatula (flip over the egg to mix it with the veg)
  10. Turn down the heat to medium and allow to cook, stirring now and then
  11.  After 5-10 minutes, it should all be ready! Serve with a side salad (optional)
 Bonus Tip: Add pinches of dried red and black pepper, salt and basil or parsley. For added spice, try cayenne pepper
